Lozol

Description

What Is This Medicational Treatment And What’s It Going To Do For Your Medical Condition?

The generic name for Lozol is Indapamide. It’s a form of diuretic that is able to assist the body in getting rid of salt in your body (sodium) as well as water. The way it works is it’s able to help the kidneys to put more salt inside of your urine. When this happens the salt is able to take water along with it from the blood.

This helps to lower the quantity of fluid going through the blood vessels, which is going to lower pressure on the walls of a person’s arteries. The main use of Lozol is to help lower blood pressure in people. There are other ways to lower blood pressure, but these usually require lifestyle changes some people might have a hard time making.

Are there any other conditions that this drug can treat or is high blood pressure the only one?

Lozol can treat other conditions. For instance it can treat a condition known as edema. This is where there is too much fluid buildup with people who have congestive heart failure, cirrhosis of the liver, kidney disorders or edema that’s brought on because of using steroids or estrogen.

Is there any special way you need to use this drug in order to make sure you keep the possibilities of side effects down?

Lozol needs to be used exactly as a doctor tells you. Yes, this might seem obvious to some, but when people become too comfortable with using a medication they start to take risks they wouldn’t have taken in the beginning. Deviating away from doctors directions is the best way to put yourself at risk for side effects. If you weren’t given personal directions on how to use it, then you can just follow the directions on the package of the drug.

When is the best time of the day to take Lozol and is it okay if you decide to take it with some food in order to make it easier to consume?

It’s best to establish a regular routine for when you will take this drug, how you’ll take it and with what. Most people who use Lozol tend to use it in the morning. There are instances where you might experience an upset stomach if you just take this drug by itself so in this case taking it with food will help. You just want to make sure you have an idea of which foods are best.

What should you do if you’re taking this drug and you miss a dose? Do you just skip it or do you increase the next dosage?

If you for whatever reason forget to take your dose of Lozol, and you’re taking one dose each day then just take the dose you missed as soon as you remember on the same day. If you don’t remember until the day after then just skip the dose you missed. Never take more than one dose of this drug at one time.
